It's Chris Mann from 'The Voice'

CONCORD — Chris Mann, the classically based pop vocalist and 2012 finalist on NBC’s “The Voice,” will perform at The Capitol Center for the Arts on Wednesday, May 15, at 7:30 p.m.

Mann is touring in support of this first album, “Roads,” (October 2012), which shot to #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. His PBS special, “A Mann for All Seasons,” aired locally on Public Television in March and featured Martina McBride and jazz saxophonist Mindi Abair. The special was a re-creation of the Elvis Presley ’69 Comeback Special with Mann performing in a boxing ring on a Sony soundstage. Tickets start at $28 and are on sale now.

Mann is a classically trained singer/songwriter originally from Kansas who earned a degree in vocal performance from the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. He auditioned for the second season of “The Voice” with Andrea Bocelli’s “Because We Believe” and was selected to be on Christina Aguilera’s team. He sang “The Prayer” as a duet with her and was a finalist, eventually finishing fourth.

Since releasing “Roads,” Mann has made numerous high profile television performances including playing for President Obama as part of TNT’s “Christmas In Washington” special. He also appeared on “The Today Show,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and NBC’s “Christmas in Rockefeller Center.” Mann released a holiday EP, “Home for Christmas,” which was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and hit #1 on the chain’s best-selling albums list. He kicked off 2013 with a performance on TBS’s “Conan.”
